Obligatory mention of the novel Blindsight by Peter Watts: https://rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm

Personally I have yet to see any compelling evidence that 'conscious experience' as some privileged special thing actually exists at all.
Yeah, solving this problem has just about jack to do with "what is being taught."

This is beyond the classroom; this is bad incentives in the market/industry.
Yes. I browse, I see banner (slide, popup, sidebar), I close tab.

I have friends that ask me if enjoyed the paragraph about something they shared a link to only for me to have to come back and say I closed it after reading two words and getting interrupted by ”Put your email here to read more". Nope. I tell them that is not a good web experience for me.

I just hope that more people start doing this.
Thanks for mentioning this, I didn't know that it existed. I just started watching.

Any other new dubbed mecha anime recommendations would be highly appreciated. Ideally, less child-focused.
There's this handy git config 'pull.rebase' in case you miss it.

A lot of the merge commit was triggered when you pull and merge instead of rebasing locally.

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing
I have never seen something like the example consisting of pretty much only merges, and most places where I've worked didn't use rebase or squash or whatever it's called. It has also been uncommon with 'fix' and 'did a thing' commit messages, usually people type in what they actually did, except in one code base but that was someone who really didn't enjoy software development.
I agree. I’ve noticed a strong correlation between friction (such as newsletter modals, cookie consent modals, register to read, etc.) and low-quality content that is just a waste of my time to read. Since I realized this, I’ve saved a lot of time and effort by closing a tab as soon as I see one of these tells and not looking back.

I'm really grateful to the low-quality content creators for making it so easy to recognize.
If anyone knows, is this about the best model one can run locally on an old consumer grade GPU (GXT 1080 in my case)?
I'm an ADHD weirdo who will mix six issues in my personal branch, and use rebase, cherry-pick, and in a pinch, difftool to carve out clean patches when something is good and ready. If I were to give people an honest history of what was actually going on in my repo, and I used merge and revert to really keep it all when I cut a patch, it would be a forensic nightmare.

There is some benefit to my tendency to do experimental work in a branch where I've started to work on something else. In that mudpit, I find serendipitous solutions to multiple problems, and I find incompatibilities between desired changes. And when multiple issues have overlapping changes, there's usually an optimal ordering of which to address first -- and that's not always obvious.

I greatly prefer to do all the forensic work up-front, to make a clean history with a cogent story in the commit message. When I see other people's messy histories with every merge/revert, I need to do that forensic work every time I go back in history; without the benefit of recent first-person experience.
Of course. As a Ukrainian I would never trust a ukrainian news site.
A robust negative relationship between self-reported and measured social skills
Oof I just built a new client contact form for my company. The reason I used a form over email is because (1) a form feels more impersonal so I feel less guilty about not responding to potential clients I have no interest in conducting business with and (2) the form works without JavaScript and I figured displaying an email without JS obfuscation would attract more spam.
I agree that config and tooling are the hardest part of getting Typescript working. Everybody is saying use a framework, but if your use case deviates from the frameworks it can get pretty difficult. My use case that was very tricky to config was.

- SSR rendering of react in an express app (both typescript).

-Trying to get VSCode visual debugger to work for both the client and server code paths.

- Getting the various test libraries to work correctly (I still can’t get the NYC code coverage library to work).

- Mix of ESM, CommonJS, misconfigured npm packages that don’t expose their types correctly.

I ultimately used Vite, and got things working 90% the way I wanted and called it good enough.
Yes, extraordinary is just a function of replication (number, diversity, quality, reputation) and sigmas. It has to satisfy a significant majority of scientists (peers), with diverse relevant qualifications (theoretical, experimental, across relevant disciplines), for a significant time.
Most merge issues can be avoided with proper architecture and planning. If your files are so large that you have multiple devs working in the same file at the same time on a regular basis, then it's probably time to get more modular.

I honestly hate Git compared to SVN. The Git tool seems technically better. However, the easier aspects of the tool seems to have promoted less planning, more stepping on each other's toes, and what I see as non-value added work (merges, rebaseing, retesting, etc).
> But then I try to write code in it and so. much. boilerplate.

If boilerplate is cause for you to dislike the language, fine.

But your unnecessarily strong language "Go is opinionated and it's opinion is wrong", "What Go did is not reasonable", "I have a specific hatred for Go" speaks more about you than Go.

Go's choice of trade-off much was practical and reasonable, engineering-wise.

Your opinion is entirely wrong.
Amazon unions, or unions in general? Because the latter is demonstrably false.
In my experience LLM chatbots are a net improvement because they understand "put me in relation with a human" as opposed to the scripted ones that only spit out the FAQ.
It's probably going to be awhile since Redox has any kind of market penetration, but I think it's pretty cool that someone is finally building a new OS that's getting some traction. It seems like most corporations are happy enough to adapt Linux or BSD for whatever it is they're doing, and that's certainly not an incompetent thing to do; Linux and BSD are well-tested and have driver support built in for most stuff and are relatively fast etc.

But it's sort of the curse of the "Good enough". Linux and BSD are cool but they're not perfect, and of course they'll never be perfect because nothing is. I think it's great that Redox is around, written primarily in a safer language, and appears to even be pulling off a microkernel. I haven't run it, and I probably won't for quite awhile, but I'm glad the effort exists.
I doubt that. You’d need to test taking away one of this person’s non-essential luxuries to find out.
In their defense, some of the questions and that they're asking are about how our stockpile degrades over time - which hopefully means keeping weapons on ice longer instead of having to reprocess and build as many new ones.
Sorry - didn't mean to offend. I know unsolicited advice on the topic is unwelcome, and I don't exactly mean that I think I can solve your problems. More like, you seem frustrated by simple explanations, and I wanted to point you to the resource that I think does the best job of explaining why you are right -- things are complicated. I know Joel Greene comes off as a nut, and I don't usually recommend him for that reason. But you could also hardly ask for more mechanistic detail and science than he goes into. Seemed something you might be interested in. My bad if it's not.

If you'd rather see the bibliography without the boomer, here's what's directly relevant to what you were writing about - one of the (several) mechanisms for weight regain and why losing weight is so much more difficult the second time around: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdfExtended/S1550-4131(... (TLDR: Control of hunger by the hypothalmus responds to dieting by becoming more aggressive, and it stays that way after the diet stops.)

It's not in your head and it's not a character flaw. Purely physiologically speaking, naive, restrictive dieting really does become much harder, if not impossible, the more you do it.
Any specific sellers you'd recommend?
You report feeling the punch. Detecting a punch, assessing the damage are all useful things to do evolutionarily speaking. At some point if you live in society, it's useful to build a virtual machine that describes what your neighbour feels when you punch him. Now if you run the same virtual machine but with all the inputs being measured rather than guessed at, you end up with an emphatic tale of how you got punched and how it seemed to feel like to get punched. But the system isn't built to know how it works, it's like asking chat gpt how it got the answer - it'll happily make up a plausible explanation. Just like you.
Smart Antennas Shape Satellite Internet Tech to Come
I've been doing this for years. Unfortunately I'm looking for a job now and there's no escape from it. The job sites, the agencies, the employers' sites - they are all awful.

The best one was an employer's site that described itself as "Easy Apply"! You had to give it a resume, which it parsed, badly, and sprayed randomly into about a thousand text boxes. I thought maybe the problem was starting with a pdf, so I began again with a Word document. The results were exactly the same, suggesting they exported to pdf and used the same shitty parser.

Having to rearrange all this text into the correct boxes was annoying enough, but they weren't just vanilla text boxes. They were janky javascript abominations that responded to input really slowly.

And employers moan that they have trouble finding good staff.
I actually understated it. Global battery manufacturing capacity last year was 2.6 TWh.

Even in Iran, the place for zoroastrianism, the towers of silence I've seen are completely unused for decades. I've visited ie one in Yazd just outside the city some 8 years ago when international relationships were at highest point (if I knew I would go there ten times, absolutely amazing country and people, completely unspoiled by mass tourism).

Zoroastrianism is fascinating and probably first major monotheistic religion and later ie judaism took a heavy inspiration from it. So much for everybody yelling how holiest their truth is and how chosen they specifically are, a lot of folks and mankind overall would benefit massively if they traveled more and more remote. I know I did.

They have concrete building not far where they put their dead instead, forgot the exact procedure unfortunately but clearly its still ok within their religion. If in holiest city of whole religion which houses 'eternal flame' they can manage this, maybe other places should take a note too?
> Junior are now scared of the command-line.

But are they any less productive? My experience is no. I was a command line aficionado when I entered the workforce, but I saw several people get the same results as me in a purely GUI environment. I see the same today. They get shit done and that is what is required. I feel like older devs romanticize certain parts of their workflow too much.

I still believe that warhammer 40K is the most accurate depiction of advanced tech. We will all just become tech priests praying to the machine spirit to get the computer to do what we want.

Very interesting.

Yeah my husbands college (I'm a SW eng, he wants to be one) teaches C++ as the base...and this is a "just" a state school in a Arkansas.

Also gotta correct myself, after asking him it looks like I was wrong. Assembly isn't a direct requirement but it's one of three electives you have to chose from.

You have to choose between either assembly, cybersecurity or data science and assembly is considered the easiest apparently.

1) I'm slightly disappointed in myself that it's taken this long for me to really fully appreciate what a meaningless word salad 'there is something that it is like to be X' really is. And yet, this is the accepted 'definition' of subjective experience.

2) Prove it.

3) The fact that you're able to write this doesn't make it true.

4) Is it? What? Again, prove it.

5) What else is it a function of, then?
Modern C# is a lovely language overall but I think OP talked about the module system where the more explicit approach of Python is arguably better.

When dealing with C#, if you’re browsing code un anything less than a IDE it can be really hard to find where a symbol comes from. And that is if the author was nice enough to use one folder per namespace, otherwise it becomes a nightmare.

I suspect stronger drugs such as codeine etc are used for palliative care of humans in their last stages. Not sure of their effect on vultures. Parsi numbers have never been high and gradually decreasing (now about 70,000 in India), also they mainly live in relatively few places, most in Mumbai and nearby. The vulture population dropped from 40 million to a few hundred so the primary cause must be from their non-human diet.
> You asked:¶ >Let's stop with the abuse of the word "algorithm".

That's not a question. For someone with such strong feedback in a discussion about words and their meanings, you sure have a lot of difficulty actually working with them, huh?

* * *

In one double-barreled remark, you managed to pack in four claims—three explicit, and one implicit. The three explicit ones being that, in comparison to "artificial intelligence", "algorithm" is:

- "more accurate"

- "more descriptive"

- a "better"(?) word choice.

Ignoring the dumb false dichotomy that you pulled out of thin air and the ahistoricity of the other claim about "AI" succeeding "algorithm" when it comes to social media, I have repeatedly asked you to defend the second claim. You insist on doing anything but that—mainly by focusing on the first (and then reverting to posting low-effort, overconfident insults like, "Please come back when you at least have a basic understanding of how computers work").

> Without even touching how every other thing you said is wrong (esp. about it being accurate), how is "algorithm" more descriptive than "artificial intelligence"? <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40235433>

> you're answering a question I (explicitly) didn't ask, and not the question I did ask. How is "algorithm" a more descriptive term (your words) than "artificial intelligence"? <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40242056>
There’s a global epidemic of grievous inflammatory disease in cattle caused by the paratuberculosis bacterium.

The challenge can be solved entirely by vaccines, it’s just not prioritized. You can simply “cull” a sick cow and sell the diseased meat in the grocery store.

The article doesn’t say what the inflammatory diseases in the cows are in India, but I wonder if it’s the same.

Edit: Yes, researchers have identified widespread Paratuberculosis infections in India. “Our research on screening of over 26,000 domestic livestock for MAP infection using 4 different diagnostic tests (microscopy, culture, ELISA and PCR), during last 31 years has shown that the average bio-load of MAP in the livestock population of India is very high (cattle 43%, buffaloes 36%, goats 23% and sheep 41%).” [1]

“If you can humblebrag about having a nanny you can homeschool.”

Just as aside, and whilst I suspect that is not the case here, as a child growing up in the 1970s I’d call all 3 of my grandmothers (1 via divorce & remarriage) “Nanny”.

I also fully agree with your comment about the use of Neurodivergence. It does seem to be a popular word to today that parents seem to throw around to describe dumb crap like why little Timmy was suspended from school for graffiti written on the school sign.
Cody has that option (I've only tried Gitlab Duo other than that)
Define "accountable"? If a teacher does something awful to a student (e.g. sexually harass them), a taxpayer-funded entity (the school board, the police, or the courts depending on the severity and what happend) will reprimand the teacher.

With something less egregious like "giving a the students a bad education", we still have some level of accountability based on standardized testing and school funding. Standardized testing is far from perfect, and it can be an example of Goodhart's Law, but it's still accountability.
> I have zero desire to learn more about logic gates

Sure, but you know that they exist, which to me suggests that you learned about them somewhere and probably have at least some foundational understanding of how they work

The problem is when people can skip any of that broad foundation and go straight to specializing somewhere, a lot of general knowledge is lost

Part of learning the broad foundations is also learning that those options exist for a specialization path

Someone who may love working on hardware designs may wind up spending their life as a mediocre web developer because they took an AI assisted web bootcamp that skips learning important fundamentals
I’m not sure that resolution helps with topology control at all. If true, more resolution doesn’t make SDFs more controllable.

But I don’t think it’s true. Why do you say SDFs don’t have finite resolution? There are no infinite precision SDF implementations. Meshes as a concept have no resolution limits either, you could in theory store verts in infinite precision, but in practice people usually use floats. It is the same with SDFs. In practice, the resolution limits are identical - it’s whatever you can store in a 32 bit float. It’s extremely common with SDF ray marchers to have a much higher threshold than the smallest fp32 delta, so I would say in practice, meshes probably have higher resolution than SDFs most of the time. And whatever, because it never matters. Nobody is pushing either SDFs or meshes to their resolution limits, and nobody wants that because you get visible quantization artifacts with both meshes and SDFs when you come anywhere close to the resolution limits.
They really weren't beyond basic grappling. By the time The Art of War was written, everyone was using swords, knives, clubs, etc.

Revisiting Rich Sutton's "The Bitter Lesson"
Duck typing can lead to a false sense of security when you /think/ you have Foo when in reality you have Bar with the same shape.

Also Typescript sucks at keeping track of type changes in a single scope. While in Rust I can assign string to foo and then update it with int, I can't in Typescript. This leads to worse types or worse code for the same operation. Combined with typescript's lack of statements as values, conditionally initializing a value is pretty obtuse.

Those are the issues that come to mind right now.
Tesla has been trying to avoid the Osborne Effect with the Model Y! The company sent the following internal email to its delivery advisors about three months ago:

> We heard your feedback that some customers are waiting to place their Model Y order as they anticipate a refresh similar to Model 3. It is important that we communicate transparently that there is no refresh for Model Y launching this year.

Conventional car companies have learned through decades of experience to upgrade vehicle models with a carefully choreographed cadence to avoid the Osborne Effect.

Tesla seems to have been caught unaware of it.

You keep trying to redefine reality to align with your vision of perpetual free support for your $150 piece of plastic. You paid for the hardware, which still functions as a thermostat. You never paid for the app, which was free.

I suggest reading through the EULA next time you click through because it very likely says they are under no obligation to provide support forever and can discontinue it at any time, and if you don't like it you can take it back to the store. <AGREE>

Apple rendered my AppleTV gen 1 completely useless without warning when they decided to end support for it after much less than 16 years (in typical Apple fashion, with no announcement or plan, it just stopped working one day). No coupon, no apology, just a "fuck you, buy a new one" and I paid a heck of a lot more than $150 at the time. They've even done worse: removing music from the iTunes Store THAT I PAID FOR such that it isn't available from iCloud for download anymore, despite the whole point of iCloud being that your stuff is there forever.

I’d guess that long term costs are also a factor? A gas stove is almost just a properly shaped piece of metal. It needs to be well designed, but it’s essentially just a hole for gas to come out of and a valve. I assume failure rates and maintenance costs are a lot higher on induction stoves just because of their complexity.
